Thank A Wounded Vet & Save an Injured Pet - In the spring of 1992, a Maine Coon stray cat visited Bob Harvey and changed his life forever. Though firmly rooted in his middle-years, he had never had a pet before, ever. The homeless feline adopted Harvey and he named the cat You Too. Little did Harvey know that this new-found love for animals would ultimately lead to a career as an author. You Too turned Harvey into an animal welfare advocate which led to the adoption of more strays, the investment in Tailwaggers Pet Sitting Service, and part-time volunteer foster care for a blind cat. In 2004 he accepted early retirement from the award-winning international firm he helped launch when he received the devastating news that his best friend of 10 years, a rescued Shepherd-wolf named Bravo, had cancer. Harvey took on the full-time job as Bravo's homeopathic caregiver. The time Harvey dedicated to Bravo's final year of life sparked an interest to share his fascination with pet cohabitation and animal sense perception. The experience birthed Catalyst, Harvey's first novel in the Me & You Too series, which follows the tale of a stray cat and a neighborhood of town-home tenants whose fates intertwine after their community is destroyed by a mysterious fire. The reluctant heroes join forces to create the first eco-Homestead where 'No People Are Allowed Without Pets'.Catalyst breaks new ground in illustrative storytelling as the first full-color novel produced in Harvey's trademarked KaleidoScript™ format. With colorized words, energized multi-font text, and 62 unique chapter-specific background images, Harvey's pioneering presentation engages the imagination while enhancing the reading experience. After graduating from the University Of Bridgeport in Connecticut, Bob Harvey traveled extensively around the world as a line builder/designer for U.S. fashion importers. His wide universe of contacts and entrepreneurial spirit evolved into numerous enterprises culminating in his participation in Austin-based Calendar Club, a company he helped launch in 1993 that became a multi-concept chain of over 1,000 seasonal retail shops. Harvey has a degree in graphic design, a unique hobby of designing interpretive Native American artifacts, and an endless love for the great outdoors. His affinity for nature has sent him on sailing excursions from the Caribbean to the Galapagos Islands as well as on photographic safaris to Africa and the Amazon. He is a member of the Humane Society, the World Future Society, and active in the Writers' League of Texas. He is now working on the second book in the Me & You Too series, Dogma, while surrounded by adopted strays at his Texas Hill Country home. Harvey is also the founder of the "Thank a Wounded Vet & Save an Injured Pet" Donation Program
